<p>As for whether your roommate needs to be in the program as well, some programs (maybe not all) do require that everyone in your room be in the program; if you are planning on requesting a specific person to be your roommate as well as applying to a residential program, your roommate will also need to apply to and be accepted into the program for the two of you to live together.</p>
